In Response To: Off Topic: Help with setup please (Steve Frederick)

: I am to the point where I will set up my strong back. I am building a
: Guillmot. I cut the holes in the forms to the lines on the plans. The
: resulting hole is very loose on my 2x4. How should I set up the forms with
: the large?? holes? The comments previously regarding strong back setup
: were very encouraging. Just want to get off on the right foot Thanx, Steve

Hi Steve Slide your forms onto the 2x4, screw a short 2x2 on the top of your 2x4 at the form location. then another 2x2 down one side. this backing (top and side ) will give you plenty to screw the form to.

hope this helps Regards Terry
